DIY Ruffled Rubber Gloves + Tips to Make Spring Cleaning Fun

Let's face it, there's really not that much fun involved with spring cleaning, is there? I am not a fan of cleaning period but I know that it has to be done. We clean a little everyday and then we do a big cleaning each weekend. But during spring we clean a lot more. We did come up with a few tips that we use in order to make our spring cleaning more fun and keep everything organized.

Tips to Make Spring Cleaning Fun

1. Rock out.

We have speakers all over the house so I play my workout list all over the house to motivate everyone to clean. Or at least clean a little faster.

2. Devise a plan.

I don't do anything without a plan. When it comes to spring cleaning, we break our plans down by room and then each person takes an assignment so we don't duplicate our efforts.

3. Get the right cleaning products from Clorox.

4. Fold the opposite raw edge over about a 1/2″ and fold your long fabric strips into standard box pleats. Fold, pin, fold, pin, repeat until each fabric strip is fully folded and pinned. Think of an accordion fold.
